🏕️ Manitoba Parks' New Development Guidelines: What You Need to Know in 2025

If you own or are planning to build a cottage in a Manitoba provincial park, recent changes to development regulations could have a major impact on your plans. Manitoba Parks has released a new set of Development Guidelines that overhaul many of the former rules and practices long associated with cottaging in the province’s beloved parks.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s changed — and what you need to know before you build, renovate, or even cut down a tree.


🔖 Title & Purpose: From General to Specific

  • Old: The previous guidelines offered general advice around leases, permits, and cottaging standards.

  • New: The updated guidelines are much more focused, with a strong emphasis on development restrictions, permit requirements, and enforcement. They’re stricter, clearer, and leave far less room for interpretation.


🏛️ Who's in Charge?

  • Old: Rules were managed by Manitoba Conservation, under the Parks and Natural Areas Branch.

  • New: Oversight now falls under Manitoba Parks – Cottage Program, marking a shift in how development is handled and enforced.


📄 Permit Requirements

  • Old: A Site Plan Permit was usually required, but some flexibility existed.

  • New: Site Plan Permits are now mandatory for all new structures. For larger builds, you’ll also need a Building Permit. Additionally, a Provincial Park Permit is required for:

    • Tree removal

    • Shoreline erosion control

    • Any ground disturbance


⚖️ Variances: Less Wiggle Room

  • Old: Variances were commonly granted for setbacks, buffer zones, or larger buildings — often with neighbour approval.

  • New: Variances are very limited. Notable changes:

    • No exceptions for size or height.

    • Only minor allowances for side setbacks on narrow lots, overwater docks, or very specific secondary structures over 480 sq ft.


📐 Development Restrictions: Stricter and Smaller

  • Old: Maximum footprint was 20% of the lot or up to 3,000 sq ft. You could have a basement or a second storey — but not both.

  • New:

    • The 20% lot footprint rule remains, but the max build is now capped at 1,800 sq ft.

    • Height limits:

      • Cottages: 30 ft max

      • Garages: 22 ft max

    • Guest houses: max 480 sq ft, single-storey only

    • Lofts, rooftop decks, and third floors are banned

    • Attached garages now count towards your total square footage

    • In Falcon Creek subdivisions, no custom rules — all standard restrictions apply

    • Surveys are mandatory for any build over 500 sq ft


🏖️ Public Reserve & Waterfront Structures

  • Old: Boathouses and dock structures had more leniency.

  • New:

    • Boathouses are now banned in Hecla/Grindstone and Clearwater parks

    • Public reserve structures:

      • Max size: 600 sq ft

      • Overwater structures: 850 sq ft max

      • Cannot span more than 50% of the lot’s lakefront width


📏 Survey & Compliance

  • Old: Lot lines were verified only when needed.

  • New:

    • A Survey Certificate is required for any build over 500 sq ft.

    • A Control Certificate must be issued before foundation work begins.


🚫 Enforcement & Penalties

  • Old: Focused on voluntary compliance.

  • New:

    • Unapproved builds may face Stop Work Orders.

    • If a structure requires more than 50% repair, it must now meet all current code requirements — no grandfathering.


🌊 Shoreline & Water Rules

  • Old: Shoreline alterations were possible with permission.

  • New:

    • Linear Shoreline Development Rule: Only 50% of your waterfront can have structures.

    • Erosion control now requires more detailed review.

    • If vegetation is removed, native, deep-rooted plants must replace it.

    • New restrictions: No shoreline work between April 1 – June 15 (to protect fish habitat).

    • Unauthorized work? Expect fines or removal orders.


Final Thoughts

These new Manitoba Parks development guidelines mark a significant tightening of regulations for cottagers. Whether you’re planning a dream cottage build or making small changes to an existing property, it’s crucial to understand and follow these new rules. The era of informal approvals and relaxed variances is over.

📌 Tip: Always consult with Manitoba Parks and get the required permits before starting any work. Non-compliance could be expensive — or result in your project being shut down.
